Inspired by Mediterranean and North African cuisine, The Tangiers Restaurant is one of the most eclectic places you'll run into in downtown Minneapolis.

Located right in the North Loop at The Hennepin Steam Building, The Tangiers is a great option for having friends over and sharing small plates, snacks and flatbreads including Tangiers Charcuterie and Fromage, Guacamole and Salsa, Hummus Plates, and the Bianca flatbread, a CityPages.com favorite:

"One such small plate is the Bianca flatbread, among our favorite flatbreads in the cities. The bread is soft and not greasy -- no grabbing for napkins to mop up grease as is common with other flatbreads -- and the sharp Gorgonzola cheese and balsamic vinaigrette blend seamlessly, topped with prosciutto and baked figs. It makes for a simple but well-executed dish worth going back for."

Wehether you're hosting a party at your home or office, or if you're looking to eat small bites to keep your day going, check out The Tangiers Restaurant and order online food delivery at www.diningin.com.
